Sounds Great! That looks like it should be a 4 car. I was hoping you weren't going to do a V8, that car just dosn't have the look for a conversion, just a nice clean slightly custom look. So pretty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) .

Dan, Way to go! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Your paint job is definately different. It has been fun watching your progress.


I can't wait to see it finished and hunkered down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) What does that mean? I think it would be awesome with a mild V8 in it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

No offense to you V8 guys, I think they are great! I just thought his car had a nice simple custom yet stock look to it that would be very nice with a 4 in it.

This car would be nice with ANY motor in it. I know, go with a turbo rotary - a smooth motor for a smooth exterior. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Lookin great, I like the 2 tone . I never thought I would actually say this but how about clear lenses on the front? I never liked them, but I think it may werk on your car. I like to see something different being done to these cars. I have been considering putting some gold pearl over my dads signal orange. Purists can eat it!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) J.K. I have another car that will be ALMOST all original.

well, i figured out my brake line problems last nite, had british instead of european lines- and almost got everything ran. The front is done, new lines and rubber lines, got the rear close but had to paint the calipers, backing plates and rotor hats, so i stopped for the nite.

Also got my new 205 yoko's mounted up and test fit and they clear the quarters MUCH better than those wide 225's-never thought i'd say 225 was wide- and doesnt look bad either!!! I'll get some more good pics tonite when i finish up the brakes, hopefully i can bleed them all out tonite and this baby will be ready to start getting the motor/ trans cleaned up to go back in!!

got some work done tonite, painted the gas tank, installed the heater box under the hood and made some rubber blocks to set the tank on out of the rollover pads of a 924s i parted out. Finally got the pieces all put together and set the tank in. I found the piece the strap sets on after this pic so now its installed correctly.

Looking good Dan...

I figure whoever (you or me) finishes first, has to drive to the other's house and stay till they are finished. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
